A meeting about novel coronavirus epidemic prevention and control in Shanghai on Feb 20 concluded that the city should help enterprises in key industries to repair industrial chains and restore production capacity.

The leading group of business leaders and government officials made clear the following requirements: a high level of vigilance should be maintained; epidemic prevention and control should be solidly carried out; Shanghai should encourage enterprises to resume production and return to market in an orderly manner on the premise of implementing prevention and control measures.

These measures are designed to quickly identify and solve problems.

While ensuring safety, the city should restore production capacity, repair industrial chains, and restore the city's general functions as soon as possible, to ensure the prevention and control of the epidemic and resume economic and social development. The meeting described these as the most urgent and most important tasks for all municipal departments in Shanghai.

According to the data released by Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce, Jabil Circuit (Shanghai) Co, LTD with the help of the municipal department had implemented rules of the global procurement of products; the company on Feb 10 did resume work orderly.

At present, in response to the demands of many enterprises, all districts of the city have introduced policies to help enterprises resume construction and business. For example, some large shopping malls along West Nanjing Road have been free of rent for three weeks. Many companies admit that capacity and operations may be tight in the first quarter, but they are confident of meeting their annual targets.
